This article examines the history of villainous Bond Girls in the James Bond franchise, highlighting those who attempted to assassinate James Bond. It explores the rarity of homicidal Bond Girls in certain Bond eras, focusing on Timothy Dalton and Daniel Craig's portrayals of the iconic spy.
James Bond romanced dozens of Bond Girls in the 25 James Bond movies, but some Bond Girls were villainous henchwomen out to kill 007. Evil Bond Girls are as much a staple of the 007 franchise as vodka martinis, Bond's Aston Martin DB5, and the many women who were James Bond 's lovers in his various films. In some cases, evil Bond Girls tried to execute James after they slept with him. Interestingly, two versions of James Bond didn't face outright homicidal Bond Girls.
Timothy Dalton's two Bond movies, The Living Daylights (1987) and License to Kill (1989), lacked Bond Girls who were dedicated to murdering 007. Daniel Craig's James Bond movies introduced several Bond Girls, including the iconic Vesper Lynd (Eva Green) in Casino Royale (2006) and the underrated Dr. Madeleine Swann (Lea Seydoux) in Spectre (2015) and No Time To Die (2021), but Craig's 007 also didn't battle malevolent Bond Girls out to end his life. Sean Connery, George Lazenby, Roger Moore, and Pierce Brosnan's James Bonds, however, weren't so lucky. Here are 10 deadly Bond Girls who tried (and failed) to kill 007. 10 Miss Taro (Zena Marshall) Tried To Kill James Bond In Dr. No Sean Connery's debut as James Bond in Dr. No (1962) also included the first Bond Girl henchwoman who tried to kill 007. Miss Taro was the secretary to a British official in Jamaica who was also secretly an informant in the employ of the villainous SPECTRE agent, Dr. Julius No (Joseph Wiseman). Miss Taro personally set up an attempted assassination attempt on James Bond. Dr. No also introduced a devious female photographer played by Marguerite LeWars assigned to photograph James Bond. Miss Taro planned for James Bond to be executed on the road to her home, and she was surprised when 007 turned up after he killed his would-be assassins. After Bond sleeps with Taro, he has her arrested and hauled away while he awaited the next man coming to kill him, Professor Dent (Anthony Dawson). D
